For two years editors of Farm and Garden Magazines have written about this new king of all 
BRAMBLE Berries. 
Has produced 11,500 one-pound baskets per acre, which sold for $1,737.50 on a roadside stand. 
The berries are lJ /2 to 2 inches in length, color a beautiful purple, similar to Youngberry, but are more 
highly flavored and less seedy. The plants were

The Flavor of Boysenberry is Superb 
It is a mild, rich, pleasing blend of the Raspberry and 
Dewberry. You will be proud of your Boysenberries, 
your neighbors will admire them, and you will agree with 
us, saying that they are the finest berries you have ever 
tasted, either fresh, canned, in pies, jams or jellies. 
Our Plants Are Northern Grown 
For the past two years our plants have been grown here 
in Michigan. We have experienced below zero weather. 
Our Boysenberries are drought resistant, too. Two years 
ago when we had extended drought we did not lose one 
of our entire plantings. 
Attention: Commercial Growers 
Farmers Are Growing These Berries in Acre Lots 
for Canneries 
The introducer says: BOYSENBERRY will upset the 
berry market and those who start early with Boysenberry 
will be the ones who make big money. 
The supply is very limited, avoid disappointment, order 
early. We have also a small amount of 2-year plants— 
they will bear fruit this year—only 3 plants to a customer. 
originated in California, but are very hardy, have 
CULTURE OF THE BOYSENBERRY: Set plants 6 to 8 feet 
apart both in and between the rows, as the root system spreads out 
considerably in search of moisture and plant food. The Boysenberry 
makes a very thrifty growth the first year. The vines often grow 10 
feet. Let the vines creep on the ground the first year, and in the 
more Northern states, the extreme North, cover lightly with straw, 
leaves or soil before the hard freezes begin, just to be on the safe 
side. In the spring remove this covering, and when the Boysenberry 
commences to bud tie the vines to a trellis, or wire stretched on 
posts about 2l/ 2 feet from the ground. Right after fruiting cut old 
vines down to ground, remove and burn them, this throws all the 
strength and energy into the roots for producing young vines, as it 
is these young vines that bear the fruit crop the following season. 
As outlined above leave the young vines on the ground during fall 
and winter, in the spring tie them to the trellis, etc. Repeat this 
practice year after year. Now a word about fertilization: Humus is 
always welcome. Barnyard manure, rotten leaves or vegetable matter 
of some sort worked well into the soil along the rows is beneficial 
to the Bosenberry; however, if this sort of fertilization is not avail' 
able, we recommend the use of a combination commercial fertilizer, 
applied at the rate of 200 to 500 pounds to the acre, or *4 to V 2 
pound to a plant; this, of course, should be well worked into the 
land either by drilling or harrowing. You can secure this commercial 
fertilizer from most every hardware or feed store.

BLUEBERRY or Huckleberry 
PROFITABLE — BEAUTIFUL 
Not only does the cultivated Blueberry produce juicy and delicious Berries 
1 to 3 times as large as common Blueberries, resembling in size a bunch of 
Delaware Grapes and selling for 40c to 60c a quart, but they are beautiful 
ornamental bushes which grow from 6 to 8 feet in height. The foliage is 
dark green, long and narrow. The blossoms are belTshaped and pinkish' 
white. 
CULTURE OF BLUEBERRIES. They prefer a loose acid moist soil with 
good drainage. However, where these conditions do not exist, they can 
easily be created with a little extra effort. 
Our Price Includes One Lb. of Acid 
Peat Moss Per Plant 
We recommend making an opening 15x15 inches, 12 inches deep, and 
mixing about one-half of the soil you take out of the opening with an even 
quantity of the following (either all of one or some of each): rotted wood, 
half rotted leaves, decayed straw or vegetable refuse, mix in the one lb. 
of peat moss we supply with each plant, fill the hole with this soil mixture 
and set the plant in the center. This mixture will hold the moisture well. 
From year to year mulch with straw or leaves 3 to 4 inches deep, water in 
dry weather as you would any other shrub. You will be well repaid for 
your efforts for a bearing Blueberry Bush is a source of beauty and profit. 
Write the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., for Bulletin 
“How to Grow Cultivated Blueberries.” It is free. 
Cross Pollination 
At least two different varieties should be planted for cross pollination. 
This way of culture produces more and larger berries. 
2-Year Transplants Only 
We are listing only 2'year transplants, well branched and under favorable 
conditions they will produce a few berries this year, but will increase the 
size of crop from year to year. A local grower reports 6 quarts of berries 
from a 6'year'old bush. 
Our 2'year'old plants have a much heavier root system than one'year- 
old plants and will often give you some fruit the first year, and will make 
a stronger growth. The difference in price is very small. However, if you 
are interested in one'year plants WRITE US for special quotations, stating 
variety and quantity you wish.
